Government Documents

Collection

The UAS Ketchikan Campus Library is a selective depository of federal government documents. These publications of the U.S. government are excellent sources of statistical information and authoritative studies on many subjects. Departments, agencies, museums and offices of the federal government publish reports, texts of hearings or proceedings, statistics, periodicals, handbooks and bibliographies.

The UAS Ketchikan Campus Library collects approximately 4% of all U.S. federal government documents published, with an emphasis on materials published by the departments of Agriculture, Education, and Labor and documents relating to the State of Alaska. These government documents can be found through the First City Libraries Catalog.

The Federal Depository Library Program site links to online versions of essential government documents, many of which are also available in paper format at the UAS Ketchikan Campus Library. Some of the government documents included are Ben's Guide to US Government for Kids, Budget of the United States Government, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Occupation Outlook Handbook, Statistical Abstract of the United States, and more.
